Mind Map

The trouble with writing is that it is linear, whilst
we think in a networked, multi-threaded way. Mind Maps (sometimes called Spider
Diagrams), defined by Tony
Buzan in the 1970s, are simply a way of capturing concepts and their
relationships on the two-dimensional surface of a sheet of paper.

You can use Mind Maps for taking meeting notes,
revising, brainstorming ideas and any other situation where it might help.

In its simplest form, the Mind Map is a hierarchy
spreading out from the central starting point. To this, you can add
doodles, pictures, cross-links and anything that helps. As with any tool,
the most fundamental rule is 'use what works.'
